Well, the head shed has decided the F250's are bit too hard on the pocketbook. Mine has averaged 11.8 mpg. So the 2010 F250 leaves tomorrow being replaced with a 2012 Tahoe.

Thanks for all the good information. It was a help.

You've got a great forum here with a nice bunch of guys. Hopefully I can find as good a forum for the Tahoe.

Jim

I cant imagine the Tahoe will get much better mileage. But have fun.

I see stuff like this and have to think that they didn't really need a big truck in the first place. I mean if a Tahoe is an adequate replacement for a SD then it seems like an F150 or Expedition would have done just as well in the first place and got better than 12mpg.

Obviously it's a different story if vehicle needs changed in that time, and if that's the case then good luck w/ the Tahoe - though I would have stuck w/ a Ford model. Otherwise, well...good luck towing 15,000lbs w/ the Tahoe.
